Dear mixed modelers, I am looking for a way to identify false convergence in models running in loops. Warnings are : "In mer_finalize(ans) : false convergence (8)" but are not stored in any slot, which makes impossible their assignation to particular models in loops. Did anybody already face this problem? Any advice will be appreciated. Thank you very much. Alexandre
convergence slot in glmer?

Hi, When I had similar problems with nls and non-converging models for some steps in the loop, the only way I found was to use the tryCatch function. It was for errors, not warnings, but according to its help page it seems possible to catch also warnings with this function. So it should be possible to use it with lme also in your case... Hope this helps, Best regards, Emmanuel Curis
